Guys, I just checked Pork’s myspace and it doesn’t look good:
http://www.myspace.com/porkspam
It looks like he has passed, according to his friends comments. I don’t have a myspace but if anyone does try and contact one of his myspace friends.
This is bad shit.
RIP George.
I’ve been really busy with my work and only had time to lurk here and there, but it would have been disrespectful to have seen this and not said anything: RIP. Only 28. Sincerely hope that whatever the reason, he’s in a better place and didn’t suffer. [:(]
RIP George, taken far far too young.
That’s a little bit bullshit.
RIP George.
This is really disturbing.
Can any of you confirm this?
R.I.P.
I think this is the George we knew as Porkspam:
George Bohdan Torbycz (June 16th, 1981 - April 15th, 2010). He lived in Florham Park, NJ.

This is awful news, my thoughts go out to his family and friends.
RIP George we’ll miss you around here.
This is some sad news.
Respect to Porkspam.
Will be sorely missed by us all.
Life is precious.
You guys…
George PM-ed me just… DAYS… before his death.
This severely bums me out, as he was indeed one of the coolest people on this forum. Took the time randomly when I up and confessed my various psychoses on here to sympathize and basically tell me I had a brother in arms. His life was also in an immense bout of turmoil at the time, and it really pisses me off that someone that positive is now fucking GONE.
If any of the 'Spam’s friends and family read this, you’ve got my condolences, sympathies, and best wishes. George was one hell of a man, man.
I genuinely might tear up a little.
Well, that’s a shock.
We’ll miss him. He knew his stuff.
This blows!
I noticed he was absent but I didn’t know he’d been missing since April… (bout the time I disappeared due to carpet and what not)
this is some sad news… such a young dude… hard to believe the absence of words on a web page has made my chest a little tight![:(]
Sent a message to his sister on myspace she last logged in yesterday so hopefully she’s an everyday checker of myspace and will get back to me soon. I basically asked if porkspam was her brother and gave her the link to come here and drop some deets as to what happened.
Late,
grmpysmrf
Oh Jesus Christ this sucks. Porkspam was awesome, had a good sense of humor and was down with the cool esoteric/occult shit. I read in the comp thread about naming the comp as a tribute and I went a little cold. 28 is definitely too fucking young.
didn’t know him, but i read many of his posts.
RIP
RIP - Jesus. It seemed like he was very open and honest with his issues just from checking his page out, but i loved his posts. He’s in peace now. RIP again, George and love for his family.
very sad indeed.
This is sad news. Didn’t really know him much but he seemed cool. RIP dude.
Sucks. Strange how the internets connects us all.
RIP brother in music nerdom.
Such a sad shame. Only 28, I can’t imagine how his friends IRL and family must feel. Really sorry to hear this.
Yeah, really sad. Poor guy. He’ll be missed.
Wow. Just seems like yesterday that he was posting with us, shooting the shit as always. Very sad news to lose a fellow pronger. Way too fucking young. He’ll be missed.
